Thank you for the inquiry. Under the FLSA, an employee is entitled to overtime hours for only hours the employee actually worked. If you worked ten hours a day on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of a workweek but then used sick time for Friday, you would not be entitled to any overtime pay for the sick time you use.

I hope this answers your question. Thanks, again.
